I have a 3/8" diameter 26" length spiral balance for a 25 lb window sash. What color spiral balance do I use? Also, do the spiral balances come with an adjustment tool or do I have to buy one separately.

Single-hung aluminum RADCO window Balance
I would like to replace the sash balance on my single-hung aluminum RADCO windows. "2040" is indicated on the old sash balance. A local supplier sells an acceptable substitute with the designation "20 4 HV CMC 7" instead of 2040. Do you sell this part? THANKS

Channel Balances
Not sure what part number to order based on the top and shoe. I have quite a few in different sizes but the top and shoe are all the same. This one is 24 in. Shoe looks similar to a 15-004 or 15-005 19-031 or 19-004. Perhaps a series 371. I am enclosing a pic for you.
